The Swedish NMR Centre (SNC) is a department (arbetsenhet) under the Bioscientific Council, a body organised jointly by the Medical and the Science Faculties of Göteborg University. SNC has the character of a national facility and is run by a national board and has a national scientific advisory board. SNC is located in the newly built (May, 1997) Hasselblad laboratory. SNC has three main objectives:

• SNC provides state-of-the art NMR spectrometers for academic users. Instrument time is awarded by SNC after evaluation of the application by the Scientific advisory board. The current instrumentation configuration is one 800 MHz, two 600 MHz and two 500 MHz NMR spectrometers.
• SNC organises courses in NMR spectroscopy with international lecturers and courses in subjects related to NMR spectroscopic areas.
• SNC organises minisymposia, symposia and summer schools and invites leading scientists to present lectures at the forefront of research. One-day minisymposia are held twice yearly, the Nordic NMR symposium will be held in Göteborg in 1999 and the International Summer School on "The Structural Approach to the Immune System - Communication and Folding", was organised jointly by SNC and the University of Oxford, Biochemistry Department in 1998.
